- 6. A ball is thrown upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. Its speed and the magnitude of its acceleration at the highest point (a) are both equal to zero (b) are given by 9.81 m/s and 0 m/s², respectively (c) are given by 0 m/s and 9.81 m/s², respectively (d) cannot be predicted unless the height is known Answer: 7. Which of the following statements about a projectile is not true? Assume that the air resistance is negligible. (a) Its motion is in two dimensions. (b) The only acceleration is in the vertical direction. (c) Its velocity in the horizontal direction remains the same throughout the flight. (d) The velocity at the highest point of its trajectory is zero. Answer:arrow_forwardTrue or false: If an object accelerates from rest covering 2.0m in 1.0s in the forwards direction then, even though its average velocity is 2.0m/s its instantaneous velocity (or vf in your equations) will be 4.0m/s at t=1.0s and its initial velocity (vi in your equations) will be 0.0m/s at t=0arrow_forwardA missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…arrow_forward
- A teenager climbs a tree that is 40ft tall. Once at the top of the tree he drops a ball that takes 2 seconds to hit the ground. Determine its initial and final speeds.arrow_forwardYou toss a stone straight up and it comes back down in a total time of 6 s, what is the speed of the stone when it comes back to the same hight from where you tossed it. Ignore air resistance. 100 m/s 20 m/s 10 m/s 30 m/sarrow_forwardA ball is thrown upward from the ground with velocity vi= 14 m/s and reaches height of h above the ground before falling back down. Take the upward direction to be positive. Refer to the figure. Neglect Air resistance. The acceleration in m/s to the ball when it is in the air is -9.8 m/s. The velocity of the ball in meters sped second, when it reaches the top of its trajectory is 0 m/s. Enter an expression for the maximum height, h, the ball reached in terms of vf, vi, and a. The value of h in meters is 10 m. Enter an expression for the time it takes for the ball to travel from the ground to the top, delta t, in terms of vi, vf, and a. The value of delta t in seconds is 10s. The total displacement in meters, of the ball going through its entire motion: reveling from the ground to the tio and then falling back to the ground is 0m. Enter an expression for the total time of flight of the ball: the time from when it is launched to when it lands back in the ground. Express this in terms of…arrow_forward
- If a stone is dropped from the top of a tower with initial release velocity equal to zero, it falls a distance d in time t given by d = ½ gt2 where g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s2). Its speed v at time t is given by v = gt. Suppose you go to the top of a tower and drop a stone. It hits the ground after 4.5 seconds. By how much does it drop in 1 second? How much is its displacement between 1 s and 2 s? What is the height of the tower? Drop = 14.7 m, Displacement = 4.9 m, Height = 19.6 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 99 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 19.6 marrow_forwardA child running in a field has the following position and velocity at time t=0: x = 1.5 m. v= -2.0 m. Vx =-3.5 m/s, vy = 1.0 m/s At time t = 2.5 s, it has the following position and velocitv: x = -1.0 m, y = 1.5 m 08. Vx = -0.50 m/s, Vy = 2.0 m/s Using this information, find the magnitude and direction of the child's…arrow_forwardA red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.1 m/s from a height of 28 meters above the ground. Then, 0.5 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 24.3 m/s, from a height of 0.9 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s?.arrow_forward
